一种规则与数值方法相结合的接地网支路可测性分析

在接地网的分层模型基础上,分析了已有文献提出的完全基于规则的接地网支路可测性判断方法的局限性,指出仅仅采用规则不能确保各种情况下支路的可测性都得到正确判断.建议了一种数值方法,克服了已有规则的局限性,在此基础上,建立了一种规则和数值方法相结合的可测性分析迭代流程.以一个60支路的实验接地网为例进行了验证,结果表明提出的方法是正确的和可行的.

中国近代图书馆的诞生与欧美图书馆的关系

中国近代的图书馆是在西方图书馆的思想基础上和中国古代藏书楼保留藏书的物质基础上萌生和发展起来的.现在的图书馆,既是对古代藏书楼和近代图书馆的肯定和继承,也是对古代藏书楼与近代图书馆的否定和发展.记忆并回顾图书馆的发展史,就是要正确地认识图书馆在人类历史上的作用,并了解不同时期的图书馆发展的内涵实质和图书馆各个时期的对外所彰显的职能,以及功能的异同.     

高性价比之选日立P42E101C等离子电视

一直以来,等离子电视与液晶电视的纷争几乎从未停息过,从最初的分辨率高低对比,响应时间和屏幕拖影问题到现在的色彩画质效果、健康护眼等方面的新说法,两大平板主流极尽所能地宣传各自的优势特点。但是,随着今年以来液晶面板产能的增加,大屏幕特别是40英寸以上的高清液晶电视的价格如雪崩般降下了很多,不少品牌的产品纷纷降到了万元以内,对消费者产生了极大吸引力;而相比之下,几乎能够兼容高清信号的等离子都在万元以上,等离子电视在大屏幕领域的优势越发被削弱了。日立P42E101C等离子电视的推出无疑为现在的等离子阵营注入了一针强心剂,它一方面继承了等离子电视优异的画质显示性能,更可贵的是不到9000元人民币的价格,令这款产品成为了众多平板电视中的高性价比之选。

为中国工业化和信息化建造自动化桥梁

在信息化日益发展的今天,人们正在利用先进的自动化科技把工人、农民改造成为知识分子,把人类从繁重的体力与部分脑力劳动中解放出来。物质生产绝大部分转交给自动装置来完成,人类自身主要从事知识生产、科技创造。中国正成为全球经济一个重要的增长引擎,特别是制造业为全球提供了大量的物质财富。但与发达国家相比,我国生产效率不高,能源和信息的利用水平需要进行实质性的改进,利用先进的信息技术改造和提升传统产业。今天自动化产业充分发挥了信息技术与工业技术之间的桥梁作用,成为联结工业化与信息化的纽带。党的十六大提出“以信息化带…

Steady-state corona charging behavior of a corotron over a movingdielectric substrate

Charging up a dielectric surface through corona discharge from a thin wire has been a common practice in electrophotographic processes. One of the widely used corona charging devices is called a corotron, which consists of a coronating wire enclosed in a rectangular shield with one constituent side being the surface to be charged. Uniform surface charge can be deposited on a dielectric substrate, such as a photoreceptor in the absence of light, by moving the substrate at a constant velocity through a stationary corotron that consistently emits corona current. To design an efficient corotron for charging dielectric substrates, a fundamental understanding of the electrostatic nature of the device is desired. In this paper, the steady-state behavior of corona charging with a corotron over a moving dielectric substrate is analyzed by computationally solving the nonlinearly coupled equation system with Galerkin finite-element method and Newton iterations. The predictions based on a first-principle model are shown to agree well with experimental measurements     

Computational finance models

The author discusses his involvement in developing computational finance software. These computational finance models attempt to model the randomness of a stock's price. At a fixed future time, a stock's price is modeled as a random variable with a normal distribution centered about the current price adjusted with a simple growth multiplier. The standard deviation of this normal distribution depends on the length of time into the future one peers and the volatility of the market. As the market becomes more volatile and we look further ahead, the less likely the stock will have a price near the adjusted current price. Implementing these ideas requires a tool borrowed from physics called the Brownian motion. In a sense, a stock's price is modeled as a point fluctuating about in "dollar space". Hence a financial modeler can no more predict what price a stock will have at a given instance in time than a physicist can predict where a particular air molecule might be.     

Teleoperation via computer network

In a teleoperation system, providing force information to a human operator can improve task performance. When a communication block between a master and a slave has a transmission delay, the system is easily destabilized. Anderson and Spong guaranteed passivity in the communication block by using scattering transformation and overcame this instability caused by the time delay. But this method can be applied to the communication block with a constant time delay. In a traditional teleoperation system, its communication block has a constant time delay. But time delay irregularly changes in a computer network because many users share telecommunication lines. This paper shows that the variable time delay destabilizes bilateral master-slave manipulator with scattering transformation and a new compensation method which keeps the time delay constant. This new compensation method has been implemented in a single-axis master-slave manipulator.     

Faulty Analysis

A way to encourage a student to examine critically what he is reading is to give him a system analysis which contains some fault which leads to a false conclusion. The fault should be rather subtle and can be either a logical error or a bad assumption. Three examples are presented: (1) The magnetic rectifier, a coil which produces a dc component in the current when an ac voltage is applied. (2) The signal-to-noise ratio amplifier, a circuit for a communication receiver which improves the signal-to-noise ratio by 3 db. (3) A single-phase-to-three-phase converter, a device which produces a three-phase output with a single-phase input voltage.     

Negotiating expert status: who gets taken seriously

A lay person may listen puzzled as a specialist in a public hearing discusses a technical point. Similarly, a challenging question from a technically knowledgeable member of the audience may be difficult to fathom. Failure to understand what a speaker discusses-despite one's interest in a topic-can cause frustration, anger and despair. It makes a listener wonder why they are there trying to engage, and why technical specialists persist in such a style of presentation. Breakdowns in communication between technical and nontechnical people are linked to the concept of “expert”. This link involves the process of the “negotiation of expert status”; this refers to the social construction of the role of the “expert” by the participants in a conversation. The term “negotiation” refers to the sometimes subtle and sometimes overtly contentious nature of a debate about who deserves to be listened to as a voice of authority on a particular topic     

A study of electric stress enhancement. Part 1. Implication in power cable design

The increase in electric stress due to a surface protrusion at the interface between a semiconductive shield and a polymer insulation layer in power cables can lead to localized electron injection into the polymer insulation and result in undesired material degradation. This paper reports the analyses of electric stress enhancement of surface protrusions in several commonly encountered medium- and high-voltage power cable configurations. First, a brief review of the electric stress enhancement theories is presented. Then evaluations using these theories for various power cable configurations are made, and it is shown that theories considering a hyperboloidal protrusion will exhibit more realistic stress enhancement results than the cases based on a spheroidal protrusion. Further examination reveals that, besides the sharpness of a protrusion, thickness of the insulation medium also plays a governing role in the stress enhancement at the interfaces between different dielectric media. Contrary to the conventional wisdom, it is a surprise to observe that a thicker insulation can actually cause higher stress enhancement at a protrusion tip, under a given applied voltage. Because of this, a flatter surface protrusion at a higher voltage setting, which usually has thicker insulation, can result in earlier degradation than a sharper protrusion at a lower voltage, even though sharper extrusions are expected to have higher stress enhancement. As a result, thicker insulation may not always be advantageous in the power cable design for higher voltage applications.     

Microendoscopic Confocal Imaging Probe Based on an LVD Microlens Scanner

This paper reports a microendoscopic confocal imaging probe based on a large-vertical-displacement (LVD) microlens scanner. Photoresist reflow technique is used to form a microlens on a lens holder that is integrated with a LVD microactuator. With a footprint of 3 mmtimes2 mm, the LVD microlens scanner can vertically displace the integrated polymer microlens by 0.7 mm at a dc voltage of 23 V. The LVD microlens chip is directly packaged into a 5-mm-diameter imaging probe. The architecture of the imaging probe is very simple and is just composed of this microlens, a GRIN rod lens (Oslash1.8 mm), a metal mold, and a cover     

Heterodyne Mixing of Terahertz Quantum Cascade Lasers Using a Planar Schottky Diode

Terahertz quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) have been used together with a monolithic planar Schottky diode receiver to study the heterodyne mixing between dual internal modes of a QCL and between a single mode of a QCL and a known molecular line from a molecular gas laser. Dual-mode mixing shows that the intrinsic linewidth of a free-running QCL is les30 kHz . Mixing against a molecular laser line gives a high precision measurement of a QCL's absolute frequency and can show transient turn-on behavior in a pulsed QCL.
